I have finally got another song on my mp3.com site --and the site itself is back up after mysteriously disappearing for a couple of days.

The new song is (drum roll).... "The Anna Grace", which is already in Aine's Mudcat songbook, but probably none of you have heard the tune which I've never written down. I've recorded this song several times and never been completely happy with the results, although it's about the best thing I've ever written. Lyrics and anecdotal evidence are posted with the song. This take is just voice and guitar and it's demo quality (actually the original recording was digital, but mixed to cassette).

Other mp3.com stuff of interest--Nicole Leonard and her band Lothlorien, who posted on the Cat awhile ago and indirectly started the whole Tolkien/LOTR discussion, (maybe?) are doing rather well on the mp3.com charts. They aren't just top forty, they aren't even just in the top 5--they have ALL the top five songs in mp3.com world/folk category. Even the Beatles didn't quite do that.

Nicole was kind enough to put one of my tracks on her MP3.com station Ghostwood World Mix. So far this has not resulted in the cavalcade of riches I've been hoping would show up at my door one day. But there it is.

So hey, if you are wondering what to listen to while cleaning out the kitty litter box, give my new track a download or streaming audio.

Or not. Whatever. Anyway, like all my mp3.com songs, its free!

If you are new here and/or really have nothing better to do (say, you don't have a kitty litter box that needs cleaning), here's a link to the previous Willie-O MP3.COM thread(on the Mudcat that is)
